General transfer rumours

Bernando also to Barcelona. They are moving fast.

When is City going to do anything, considering we have lot of gaps to fill would have thought we would have some announcement by now.

The amount of interest in Gordon is unbelievable

Not sure what we missed in him which other saw

Possibly the best out of possession workhorse in the league.
Rashford pressing actions = 106 counter pressing = 45
Defensive actions per 90 he’s in the lowest percentiles.

Gordon pressing actions = 424 counter pressing = 106
Defensive actions per 90 he’s in the upper percentiles.

Hansi Flick ball is lunacy with their suicidal high line their press is initiated and only works with the entire attack and midfield.

Same reason why they’re going after Alvarez we all know he was our strongest off the ball player and the numbers prove it even more now at Atleti

Alvarez pressing actions = 478 counter pressing = 131 in the top 0.1 percentile (nobody is better than him)


It’s the newest trend in football it’s why Michael Owen says it’s not about your footballing ability anymore it’s how much and how hard you can run.

It’s why we signed Semenyo and why Diaz is killing it in Germany he’s also a pressing monster.

It’s why nobody, NOBODY has ever taken a chance on a player like Leao because he’s dead last in these metrics. My theory on why we don’t press as well as we used to is because teams especially in the EPL are way too good at playing out from the back and big teams cannot afford to carry a passenger out of possession unless they’re supreme at something.

Leao Pressing actions = 157 counter pressing = 39



This is what I want from the club, back the manager’s philosophy, pick a type of football and stick to it, go balls to the wall in the market spare no expense and get his number 1 picks at each position we need. Flick has earned it with 2 league titles back2back but yea hopefully this is be us soon.

So that's 85m e on Gordon and now 100m e on Alvarez, but can't afford Rashford. Someone over there is doing more shenanigans of the finance side again whilst La Liga on are holiday.

As far as I'm aware they are still massively in debt.

I believe the Glazers are still their primary financial advisors
